Rugby 2013

Two years in a row--Red Mountain Knights are AZ state rugby champions!

They were all quite serious and focused before the game. Tempe was the only team that had beaten them all season, and this was certainly destined to be a battle of Titans.

With eight minutes to go, Red Mountain was down by seven, and things didn't look good.

A few hard hits and two spectacular runs downfield (and a broken tibula), and the final score was 28-14.

Admittedly not Ben's favorite game of the season, he was still thrilled to be part of his second state champion rugby team--and the first team to pull of back-to-back state wins in the history of AZ rugby.

What is a victory without a dousing of the coach?

The end of rugby marks the time when we get Ben back. As much as I love sports and what they teach my kids, I'm always glad when the season is over.

I’m Jenny, chief administrator here at the Sanatorium. I bake
the best chocolate chip cookies, dabble in interior design and photography, haunt the local auctions, and passionately love
my family. Oh, and I also teach high school part time. I’m kinda tired, but I love it here.
